Those found to have engaged in such conduct will be held accountable to the fullest extent."…

As Ronnie Marler writes in comments on YouTube: A slap in the face to every American and a punch in the gut to every soldier who has done their job with dignity. These men bring shame to all of us.

Looks to me like they were just going through the act of looking like they were urinating on the dead fighters. But regardless, what a stupid, totally out of taste, shameless thing to do in any case!
